Free tits

I do wonder what it is in the American psyche that causes them to think that they're so "free". I've lived in both Europe and America and believe me we're far, far more liberal over here than they are over there. I always used to think that certain parts of the USA felt downright oppressive compared to the UK. What with a practically militarized police force, no social safety net (like free healthcare) and weird religious laws (for example not being able to drink alcohol on Sundays in some states) it often felt like the opposite of "free" to me, perhaps "free" only applies to those with plenty of cash (which also seemed true)? 

Anyway, to all those Americans protesting about having to stay indoors and eat pizza while watching Netflix, I would say "stop being complete tits!" (hence the photo) Among that fraternity there seems to be a slightly sociopathic tendency to think the restrictions are there to oppress them as individuals? You see placards like "my body, my choice" which of course totally misses the point about what action is needed in order to suppress a pandemic. Unfortunately this isn't about us as individuals, it's about preventing any individual becoming a vector that passes the virus on to others, some of whom may be less able to fight the disease. This "transmission" issue which, regardless of degrees of selfishness (which are clearly high among many Americans) is unavoidable due to the nature of this particular pathogen is our real challenge at this time. Thankfully we finally seem to have got the message here in the UK, which is lucky since we seem to be suffering more than most in terms of deaths per head of population, hopefully the infection rate will fall here now that we're all getting used to not feeling weird by crossing the road when you see someone else walking along the pavement toward you.
